  If your Wheel Horse Tractor engine won't turn over, there could be several reasons. It might be due to a dead battery, in which case you should charge or replace the battery. Another possibility is an open safety interlock switch, so ensure that the PTO is disengaged and the clutch pedal is depressed. If those steps don't work, the issue might be with the starter, solenoid, or ignition switch.

  If your Wheel Horse Tractor engine is overheating, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check if the air intake screen or fins are clogged and clean them if necessary. Also, ensure that the oil level is adequate and adjust it if it's too low. A fuel mixture that's too lean or an overloaded engine can also cause overheating, so readjust the carburetor and reduce the load on the tractor accordingly.
